The first Italian hybrid bending press

Italy's first hybrid press brake, SUPERIOR, marked a revolutionary breakthrough in the world of press bending. It's not just one of the fastest press brakes on the market, but it's also the first true hybrid press brake entirely designed and built in Italy.

The uniqueness of this machine lies in its winning combination of technological innovation and mechanical precision, which allows for rapid production cycles, precise positioning, and high energy efficiency.

And speaking of energy savings, the numbers are impressive: SUPERIOR guarantees a reduction in consumption between 55% and 78% compared to a conventional hydraulic press brake.

THE PERFECT SYNTHESIS BETWEEN ECO AND PRECISE REPEATABILITY. LEGENDARY IN PERFORMANCE

The .SUPERIOR press brake represents the perfect mix between sustainability and bending precision: thanks to the brushless engine, our hydraulic crowning system, the motorized arms and the double guide, this press brake let you achieve a new standard of bending.

The hybrid press brake is available in many configurations:

  • differents bending lenghts and straining forces

  • various back gauges, controls and tools attachments

  • choose between bends in air or in coinin

HOW DOES A HYBRID PRESS BRAKE WORK?

VICLA's SUPERIOR hybrid press brake is a high-performance machine that combines the best of hydraulic technology with excellent electronic control.

Compared to a conventional hydraulic press brake, the SUPERIOR press brake stands out for its high energy efficiency, allowing for up to 78% savings in electricity consumption.

This is possible thanks to a specific hydraulic system, designed and engineered to guarantee reduced consumption and to use smaller amounts of oil compared to a conventional machine.

While there are different types of hybrid press brakes on the market, not all are created equal. Some manufacturers and dealers define a press brake as "hybrid" even if it simply mounts an inverter. This is a misrepresentation that does not align with VICLA's philosophy.

Superior Hybrid Press Brake

The technological innovation of a true hybrid press brake revolves around a specific hydraulic system, which, in the case of VICLA's series hybrid model, includes a completely independent dual hydraulic circuit, each equipped with its own tank, motor, pump, and inverter.

The functional separation of the two cylinders allows for optimized control based on the load required for each cylinder, and also allows for greater energy efficiency.   

This system is capable of minimizing machine wear by concentrating all its efficiency and automatically balancing the working pressure exclusively on the side that is used during the bending of that specific part.

ADVANTAGES

The hybrid system absorbs the energy it needs only when the operator activates the press brake.
The use of hydraulic oil is drastically reduced.
Electricity consumption is reduced by 55% compared to a traditional hydraulic press brake.

Superior Hybrid Plus Press Brake

An additional level of performance is provided by the Hybrid Plus model: the system consists of a brushless motor for each cylinder, capable of providing high forces and high movement speeds. It is an even more compact system composed of a motor and pump in direct drive, installed directly on the cylinders, with a significantly reduced piping system. It is a modular solution that combines a highly integrated servomotor-pump unit with a cylinder control block

KEY FEATURES:

Energy savings up to 78%
Reduced cycle times
Significant noise reduction
Massive reduction in hydraulic oils

Main features

REAL TIME BENDING CONTROL SYSTEMS

REAL TIME ANGLE CONTROL 

VICLA Laser bending control

This solution guarantees the set angle without any additional correction.

The angle control, combined with a database of materials, ensures high work cycles and eliminates manual corrections by the operators.

CLEVER CROWNING

Real time crowning system

 The crowning system is no longer managed automatically by the NC, but the necessary corrections are made in real time for each bend.

The NC manages indipendently the correction of the bending angle, without the intervention of the user, assuring a perfect bend even on irregular material (i.e. drilled or pierced sheets, etc.)

FLEX

Management of the structural flexions

Flex ensures the same bending depth, regardless to the length of the sheet.

The CNC receives the data form the sensors on the cylinders. These information are then interpolated to set the correction parameters required.

SAFETY WORK

The man and the machine

VICLA machines comply with the strictest regulations with reference to safety. The devices installed guarantee thorough safety of the operator without reducing the pace of work.

  • Safety PLCs able to manage and monitor the action of the proportional valves
  • Visible dual beam linked to the upper tool: when interrupted, the movement of the press brake is immediately interrupted
  • Easy adjustment by means of a grading scale
  • Constant monitoring of parameters related to safety
